ActiveSync is a protocol that allows synchronizing emails, contacts, and calendars from a remote server to local devices (laptops, mobile devices, etc.) This article will explain how to configure your Private Email address as an Exchange ActiveSync account on Windows 10.
We will be using a test email account example@nctest.info.
NOTE1: If you've set up a Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for your mailbox and wish to use Exchange (ActiveSync) connection, you will need to set up an Application Specific Password.
